The world over no troops have
been found to surpass, if indeed any
have equalled, the Southern soldiers.
The valor and fortitude displayed by
them during the late war, contending
as they knew they were against over
whelming odds, shows them to have
been made of the stuff of which only
heroes are made. The Wilmington
Star says on the subject:
Mr.. Roosevelt, the Republican New
York biographer of the North Carolina
Democrat, Thomas H. Benton, incl
dentally comedies the superiority of
the Southern troops, for he says "there
was an undoubted average individual
inferiority of the Northern compared
with the Southern troops-at any rate
at the beginning of the war; He
might have said all through the war.
The North had nearly 100000 of
men in service the South had 600, 900.
Mr.. Wllkerson, a Northern soldier.
has shown how superior was Lees army
to Grants, and this was the last year
of the war.

The Fayetteville Nezos states thai
10000 persons have gone from North
Carolina to Georgia since the first OIL
January. There is evidently some
mistake in the figures but we know
that many people have gone to seek
fortunes beyond our border. The land
that flows with milk and honey always
lies just little way off, and all that is
necessary to amass wealth, live at ease
and do without work, many people
think, is to turn their backs upon their
native State and home and move lit
tie further on. But what a sad mis-
take many of them make. There is no
better country than North Carolina if
people will z00,k and be eeouomfcaA
and the sooner the malContents come
to realize this the better off they will
be. Our advice is, stay where you are,
and work as hard here as YOU would
have to do elsewhere, and you will not
be disposed to swap the old North
State for any other.

The great freight handlers strike in
New York was declared off last Satur-
day, and work has been resumed by
those of the strikers who could get back
to their old places. The loss created
by the strike has been very great.
What pity it is that the worklngmar
finds himself forced to resort to the
use of such desperate means as the
strike; and then how seldom it is that
his condition is ever bettered thereby
The laborer is worthy of his hire, and
should be paid his just proportion OF
his earnings. Capital cannot afford
to Cypress labor; nor should labor at
tempt to destroy capital; each is de-
pendent upon the other, and each
should be the friend of the other. The
strike is dangerous to both sides.

WHERE is this pension business to
end, the hard working taxpayers OF
the country would like to know9 The
Decatur Re0iey says the total number
of volunteers in the late war, regulars,
colored troops and all, was 2,857,7I2.
One i'll every three of this number, has
applied for a pension, and one in every
five has been granted a pension. In
other words, there are now on the pen

pensioners of the late war, and the ap-

SINCE Prof. Kerr North Carolina has
been without State Geologist, a very
important branch of our departmental
service, it seems to us, in view of the
fact of our great mineral wealth. Mr..
L. K. Bruner of the Salisbury WatcA-
man, gentleman in every way quail
fed to speak on the subject, says:
The miners Of the State should me-
morialize the Legislature to make an
appropriation for a State Geologist,
and to secure such an officer, at any
cost. Let him be man among men,
man with parts in science. The State
needs him, the farmers, (who are the
land owners) need him, the miners
need him and the vast UNEMPLOYED ter
ritory in North Carolina cries out fol-
him.

own statement, "new features will be

The Chronicle has been steadily i'm

HON. JOSEPH ]. DAVIS.

The appointment of Hon. Joseph J.
Davis to fill the place on the Supreme
Court Bench made vacant by the death
of Judge Ashe, will be eminently graf
living to the friends of that distinguish
ed gentleman throughout the State.
And nowhere does his selection give
greater satisfaction and pleasure than
here at home where he is best known
and appreciated. Mr.. Davis is in the
goth year of his age, we'll preserved
physically, and in the full enjoyment
of his splendid mental faculties. He
is man of fine parts, large experience
at the Bar, and of the highest integrity.
Possessing a sound judicial mind, we'll
poised, in the hands of "Honest Joe
Davis" the scales of justice will indeed
be evenly and impartially held to the
utmost extent of his ability.
The Wilmington Star whose able
editor, Mr.. T. B. Kingsbury, has been
long and intimate acquaintance OF
Mr.. Davis, says of him:
He served CALAMITY in
the war as Captain. He repre-
sented the Fourth District four years
in the Federal House of Representa-
tives, and distinguished himself as
most faithful, watchful, honest public
servant ever guarding the interests o.
his people. After two terms he did
not stand for reelection. Because Of
his fidelity and integrity the Star be.
slowed upon him a sobriquet that has
stuck sHonest Joe Davis" We re-
membered that in our boyhood a pre-
fix was given to another Davis, an en-
inent Senator from Massachusetts,
known all through the land as "Hones'
Tohn." Our North Carolina ssJoe" i:
the full peer of the Massachusetts:
wohn" in honor and conscientious de
votion to what is true and just and
noble.
Judge Davis is in undated mental
and physical vigor. He will take tc
the bench the same high qualities o.
nobility, conscientiousness, morality
and integrity that SO eminently dis
tinguished the admirable Ashe. Thi:
writer is really glad to say that fol
thirty-nine years his relations with
Judge Davis have been of the most in
innate character. If we know any
man we know Joe Davis. He is man
of marked character and individuality
He is as true as the needle is to the
pole and will never perform any act
that shall not bear the sunlight full
upon it. We would trust him as fal
as we would any living man. He has
had a long experience at the bar, and
has always enjoyed a full practice. He
is man of judgment, of discretion, Of
good abilities.
1t was certainly proper that the Sc
! lection should have come from the
middle part of the State, as Chief Jus,
tice Smith is from the Albemarle sec
ton, although residing at Raleigh at
the time he was nominated; while
Judge Merrimon is from Western Car
DINA, although citizen Of the capital
when nominated.

Our law makers at Raleigh consider
the matter.

NONE of the national taxes are alto

have little than upon those who have
much. This is about the size of it.
